I never thought of either one of my kids as GT so I couldn't even nail anything for my 2nd grade son in the early years. We used to joke he was smart, but really had no clue about the real world until kindergaren. His younger sister is 4 and I've never really thought of her as being gifted or not. I've been at home with her since her birth and she is happy and thriving and learning.

This week I'm watching an old video of my daughter at 3 months. She was laying on my husband's lap "talking" to her daddy. She said her own name at least 3 times. I watched it like 10X. I had rough recoveries from both my pregnancies and I'm sure I never even noticed it at the time. She was almost a month early. Anyway, gave me pause. Maybe our younger kid is a little gifted too.
